Do you remember as a kid how you liked to jump on the bed (until your parents yelled at you to get off). Or maybe you were lucky enough to have a trampoline or knew someone who had one. For what ever reason most people love to jump up and down on a trampoline. Maybe it’s the feeling of exuberance as you go higher and higher. Today bounding on a trampoline as have proven to be good form of exercise and not only for young people, older people should also consider it.

I know what you are thinking; I’ll fall off and break my neck. If visions of you flying through the air and then falling on the sidewalk come to mind, relax. The exercise trampolines are smaller then they used to be and as with any exercise you should check with your doctor and then start off cautiously. Some even have handles to hold on to.

Why is it such a good exercise?

It has to do with the lymph system, which is liquid that flows between our cells and carries out waste out of our bodies. Of course when we have a sedentary lifestyle the liquid doesn’t move as well as it should causing the fat to stay in our bodies. Rebounding helps the lymph system move the waste and toxins through the body.

Rebounding is also a good aerobic exercise that along with strength training will enable you to have a good workout routine.
